Dear Mr. and Mrs. Renner,
I am so sorry to hear of Phils'passing. My husband golfed with Phil for 3 years every Sunday. I met him just last April, when he came to our house and to Eds' retirement party. He was full of smiles, and full of love for his brother. Phil and I talked about his brother for quite awhile that day.
I lost a son also, and so I do feel your pain, and I do know how hard this is for you. I am so sorry for that. Please take care of yourselves as Phil would want you to. My heart goes out to the family left behind in this terrible time of grief . Lynne Thompson , Ed Graziano's wife.

but we loved you just the same.
I saw you on the 4th of July,
looking up at the fireworks in the sky...
The time had come to get your wings and fly
I only wish we'd had time to say goodbye..

Phil, you were a person next door to me, you were so loyal and trustworthy. You really saved us too. We almost paid 12,000$! But because of you, we did not. I thank you for that. I've only known you for 4 years now, but, we all loved you. You look so nice and are so nice. We are all still sad and forever we will. We will always think about you when we move. We were up all night because of this. But your in a better place.
